Suddenly, a strange scene appeared on the surveillance screen. All the aliens stopped moving at the same time, their tentacles stiffened, and their bodies gradually solidified.
"Now!" Zhang Chen shouted, "Activate the extreme cold system!"
With a loud bang, the temperature control system of the entire underground city was adjusted to maximum power.
Bone-chilling cold air gushed out of the ventilation ducts, and the temperature dropped at an alarming rate.
"Minus 20 degrees...minus 50 degrees...minus 80 degrees!" the staff reported the data.
Cracks began to appear on the bodies of the aliens, including those of the evolved forms covered in metal-like shells. The extreme cold pierced through their defenses, freezing them from the inside out.
"Be careful!" Luna suddenly shouted, "One of them is still moving!"
Sure enough, a particularly large alien was struggling to move. Its surface was covered with thick frost, but there were still signs of life inside.
"Damn it!" Zhang Chen gritted his teeth, "The temperature is not high enough!"
"But if the temperature drops any further, all the equipment in the underground city will be destroyed!" the engineer warned.
"I can't care less!" Zhang Chen punched the control console, "Run at full power!"
The temperature continued to drop, minus 100 degrees...minus 120 degrees...minus 150 degrees!
The harsh sound of breaking metal echoed throughout the dungeon.
Pipes started bursting and cracks appeared in the walls, but no one cared.
Everyone's attention was focused on the tenacious alien.
Finally, in the extreme cold of minus 180 degrees, the last alien stopped moving.
Its body instantly shattered into countless ice fragments, which drifted away with the cold wind.
"Success!" Cheers rang out in the command room.
But Zhang Chen did not relax: "Immediately send people to clean up all the alien debris! Don't leave any behind!"
Chapter 613: Eternal Night is Not a Natural Phenomenon
Three days later, the cleanup work was basically completed.
The underground city suffered heavy losses, the agricultural area was completely destroyed, and a large number of facilities needed to be rebuilt.
But at least, humanity has preserved this last refuge.
"What terrible creatures," Luna looked at the alien specimens preserved in the laboratory, "If they are allowed to continue to reproduce..."
"More human settlements will suffer," Zhang Chen said, "We must build extreme cold defense systems in other underground cities as soon as possible."
"But,"
Luna hesitated and said, "Even if we build a defense system, these creatures will eventually evolve the ability to withstand the cold."
"We can't defend this way forever..."
Zhang Chen looked towards the ground with a serious expression: "So we must find their source."
"Eternal night, aliens, behind all this, there must be some truth that we don't know yet..."
“Why don’t we study them?”
A young researcher suggested, "These organisms have amazing adaptability and evolution speed. If we can apply these characteristics to humans..."
"Shut up!"
Zhang Chen turned around abruptly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Have you never experienced a zombie crisis?"
The laboratory fell silent for a moment.
"Ten years ago,"
Zhang Chen said coldly, "Someone also proposed to study the zombie virus, saying something like 'for the evolution of mankind'."
"The results of it?"
"The entire city, one hundred thousand people turned into monsters overnight!"
Luna shuddered: "I've heard about this..."
"From today on," Zhang Chen looked around at everyone, "Anyone who dares to study these alien creatures privately will be killed without mercy!"
No one dared to object.
Everyone present was aware of Zhang Chen's reputation.
This god has a peculiar hobby - he likes to refine the bones of his enemies into floor tiles.
The floor tiles in the central hall of the dungeon, which have an eerie sheen, are made from the bones of powerful enemies.
Stepping on it, it seems as if you can feel the resentment sealed inside.
"Wait..." Zhang Chen suddenly thought about something, "Bones..."
He walked quickly to a piece of alien wreckage and observed it carefully: "The bone structure of these guys is special. Even at minus 180 degrees, they did not completely break..."
"You mean..." Luna's eyes lit up.
"Extract their bones," Zhang Chen said with a ferocious smile, "and use my divine power to refine them into weapons!"
Soon, a temporary refining site was built.
Zhang Chen personally presided over the refining process, soaking the alien bones in a special medicinal liquid, and then injecting divine power into it to calcine it.
"Crack!" The first shield was born.
The whole body is translucent milky white, with faintly visible flowing lines on it, emitting a faint chill.
"Try it!" Zhang Chen threw the shield to a warrior.
One surviving xenomorph hatchling was released as a test subject.
Its tentacles hit the shield hard, but it let out a shrill scream.
The shield is completely immune to the corrosive liquid that can dissolve everything!
"Is this... a phenomenon of mutual restraint?" the researcher asked in shock.
"That's right," Zhang Chen nodded with satisfaction. "After being refined by divine power, their bones not only retain their original characteristics, but also have a restraining effect on their own kind."
In the following days, a large number of weapons were manufactured. Shields, spears, armor... each one exuded a faint cold light.
"And this," Zhang Chen pointed to the ground, "Use their bone powder to mix into building materials, and the walls and floors will gain resistance."
Luna touched the newly laid floor tiles and could feel a strange energy fluctuation: "These floor tiles... can actually actively absorb the alien's corrosive liquid!"
"Now," Zhang Chen sneered, "let's fight back!"
When the second batch of aliens attacked, they suffered an unprecedented defeat.
Those tentacles that were once indestructible would immediately shrink when they came into contact with the bone tools.
The corrosive ability that they were proud of was completely ineffective in the face of the new defense system.
"Interesting," Zhang Chen watched a giant alien wailing under a bone spear, "your compatriots are killing you now."
"They... are running away?" Luna looked at the surveillance footage in disbelief.
Hundreds of huge spaceships hurriedly took off, and those strangely shaped metal structures reflected the faint light in the eternal night.
The aliens rushed into the spacecraft frantically, not even having time to take away the most basic equipment.
"It's not running away," Zhang Chen smiled coldly, "it's running for one's life."
There is a lot of alien technology left on the ground.
Energy weapons, combat armor, and even some small aircraft that had not yet been launched.
These priceless equipment were discarded just like that.
"Why are they so scared?" A soldier picked up the energy gun on the ground and asked puzzledly.
Zhang Chen did not answer, but just raised his right hand silently.
A strange rune appeared on his palm. It was a magical power that he had just recently comprehended - "racial cleansing".
"This magical power," Zhang Chen explained softly, "can analyze the genes of a target race and create a devastating attack specifically targeting that species. With just one sample, an entire race can be wiped out in an instant."
Everyone present gasped.
This is simply a genocide-level terrifying ability.
"Those aliens,"
Zhang Chen continued, "They must have sensed this threat in some way. They knew that if they stayed here for one more second, the entire race would be wiped out."
Luna looked at Zhang Chen with a complicated expression: "So they would rather abandon all their equipment and escape..."
"That's right,"
Zhang Chen walked to a spaceship that failed to take off and said, "Everything is secondary to survival."
The interior of the spacecraft was filled with traces of a panicked escape. The operating table was still stained with mucus secreted by the aliens, and the storage compartment was filled with various strange devices.
"these things..."
The researcher excitedly checked the equipment, "Oh my God!"
"This is a space jump engine!"
"And there's an anti-gravity device!"
“With these technologies, we can...”
"We can return to the ground," Zhang Chen took over the conversation, "These technologies are exactly the weapons we need to fight against the eternal night."
He looked around with a serious expression: "But don't be too happy too soon."
"The appearance of these aliens is no accident."
"They came to Earth after the eternal night fell. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this."
"You mean..." Luna thought, "Eternal Night and Alien are together?"
"It's very likely," Zhang Chen nodded, "I suspect that the Eternal Night is not a natural phenomenon, but a 'hotbed' created by a higher civilization in order to create a suitable breeding environment for these aliens."
"Then let's..."
"Continue to strengthen the defense," Zhang Chen said decisively, "Although these aliens have been scared away, they will definitely come back. And the next time, it may not just be this species that comes."
He looked up at the sky covered by eternal night: "This war has just begun."
Chapter 614: Making the Enemy's Ashes into Floors
"Report!" A chief scientist came running over. "We discovered a shocking truth when analyzing the spacecraft data!"
Zhang Chen took the data tablet and his brows furrowed further and further.
It turns out that these alien civilizations have a terrifying expansion pattern.
They will look for a suitable planet for life, and then release the "Eternal Night Factor" - a nanorobot that can form a special black fog in the atmosphere.
These black fogs would block out sunlight, causing the surface temperature to plummet and forcing the indigenous peoples to move underground.
"These beasts..."
Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Driving us underground is to create an ideal breeding ground for them!"
Luna shuddered: "If you hadn't discovered their weaknesses, if you hadn't had that race's ability to clear..."
"The entire earth will become their nest," Zhang Chen said coldly, "and humans will become their food and breeding tools."
Data shows that this alien civilization has occupied hundreds of planets using the same method.
They will reproduce on a planet for decades until all resources are drained, and then look for their next target.
Just then, a surprising change occurred.
"Look!" someone exclaimed, pointing at the surveillance screen.
The black fog that had enveloped the Earth for years began to dissipate.
Those nanorobots are decomposing themselves because they have lost the control signal.
The long-lost sunshine shines through the thin clouds and onto the cold earth.
